Chloe Hunter.... That's why I set my profile to requests and not a straight follow.

Thats fair enough...they are all spam!!

What i have noticed lately is follow requests from people that you "flyby"...like I dont even know these people why would i want them to follow me or vice/versa.
I never accept...also i cant imagine why people would want to follow so many riders...your "feed" would be clogged with crap

Its called ' game of kudos '. The more you get the better your cycling chops. Similar to likes-whoring on facebook.

Stravatard is my word of the year at the moment.

Pah, I didn't get any of these - even fake people don't want to follow me.

Can u turn off kudos on strava? I only ever get kudos from people the other side of the world.

This isn't that first time on this forum that people's dislike \ dismay \ annoyance \ whatever you want to call it of Kudos has come up.

But who gives a sh!t if you get one or not? If they are that much of an annoyance just turn off your kudos notification. If it's all people have for worrying about then you've very little to be bothering you.

If you don't want other folk to follow you then change your settings so you have to approve followers. Again, big deal. So what.

For something, I think, is so bleedin' insignificant in the grand game of life if generates some amount of debate. I just can't fathom why people give such a sh!t and if they're that bothered then just close your Strava account. Plenty other sites \ apps to store and track your data.

Gah...people giving out about other people giving out. It's not on.
